Horizon view
Horizon from Epimenides
40.9172° S, 30.3312° W · cell 19GGL
- Highest horizon point
- Epimenides: 11.2° above the horizontal, 10.4 km away at azimuth 262°.
- Farthest visible point
- 16.1 km away at azimuth 153°, 8.5° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 1,304 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 16.8° high at azimuth 77°, 8.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 16:14:44 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
